Any custom ROM for 5800

[sujoyp]

Friends anybody uses custom ROM for 5800. I am bored with its interface and will get a new handset in Diwali...but for now

all the features should work on that ROM.

Please Suggest??

^^ OMG, so you don't know about CFWs?? Amazing.. The wonders.

Go here, and amaze yourself..

v5 Custom Firmware / Cooking - Files and Releases

I personally prefer these two CFWs:

(for 5230)

Phantom^1
InFiniTy^01

[sujoyp]

I know about them but never used them...I have put original hacked CFW few times but never a custom made..

Soo I want some advices...or else will bear the burden for 2-3 more months

[baccilus]

I didn't know anything about these. I will try this on my Nokia 5800

[sujoyp]

opps If someone confused it with Samsung I5800 then I am sorry I was talking about nokia 5800

[comp@ddict]

^^ try it, they are amazing. Speed gain = double

Conversations integrate(thread sms)
C6's great gallery (gallery loading of 100 pics takes 1 second including thumbnails, for first time)
Everything EXTREMELY FAST RUNNING

[sujoyp]

ok but I have heard that some of the functionality suffer ...and bugs??

Thats the reason I was asking ...anyways I will search ...I have seen many on dailymobile form

[baccilus]

Too many choices are confusing me. Can anyone suggest me the best Flashing method for the Nokia 5800 and also the best CFW. By best I mean stable and useful.
The Photon CFW requires some different flashing method which I haven't been able to understand. It has specifically asked not to use the Naviferm(or whatever?) but hasn't told anything about how to use the alternative.

I'm using C6 RM-612 V40.0.021 ported to 5800 by mara- [Language packs added] ATM

Flashing easy as cake:

I think I'll try them out, one question, if I kill my phone when burning can I recover it? Or do I need to go to a service center?

[Ishu Gupta]

Flash again with a clean firmware and it'll be fine.

Do not downgrade you firmware though.

Can I upgrade to parallel firmware? I mean modded 52.xx to another modded 52.xx? Same version, no downgrading.

PS: Give me a link to the best firmware you ever used, I need looks as well speed, default 5800 firmware is slower than my father's 800/- phone.

Thanks, I'll try it out soon.

[baccilus]

Yes the default Firmware on Nokia 5800 is very slow. But I haven't been able to find installation tutorials specifically for Photon c6-03.
This is the part that is confusing me:

Use PNHT's C6 Firmware CORE file with my CFW file and not NAVIFIRM files

I will have to use Naviform to install PNHT's c6 Firmware or is there some other software to do that?

And what will happen to my contacts and Notes after I apply the Photon CFW. Will I be able to get them back through the Nokia Ovi suite installed and synchronized on my PC?

[sujoyp]

I too searched soo many firmware and even downloaded my own from nevifirm...but now confused...will do this flashing on sunday

[Ishu Gupta]

1) DL C6 V20.0.041 Firmware ported to Nokia 5800 V52.0.007 Fully Working and extract files to C:\Program Files\Nokia\phoenix\products\RM-XXX\
2) 3. Download and Install PKEY Emulator and J.A.F (Google them)
3) Run PKEY Emulator
4) Click OK
5) Ignore the error and click OK
6) Go to 'bb5'tab and Tick - Manual Flash, Dead USB, Normal mode, Untick - 'CRT 308'
7) Tick 'USE INI and Select your phone and appropriate RM from the list (RM can be found in device update)
8) Turn OFF your phone and connect it to the computer via USB
9) Click on flash. Click OK
10) Press (and not hold) the power button when asked by the program.
11) wait.
12) Done

This will install the default C6 FW.
If you want to install any other FW (like photon etc) then DL the CFW files and put them in the C:\Program Files\Nokia\phoenix\products\RM-XXX\ folder.
Rename if necessary

Use the backup thing in File Manager.

[baccilus]

Thank you so much Ico . I will backup using the file manager and then copy the backup folder on my PC just to be sure.

[sujoyp]

@Ishu Gupta thanks...will try in evening....u made it soo easy

[comp@ddict]

I would recommend the Phantom^1 FW, best ever I've used. It's a tweaked Photon C6-03.

Now avoid Photon C6-03 it gives less than 20 hours battery backup with minimal usage, Phantom^1 on the other hard lasts 2 days easily.

[baccilus]

@Ishu: Phantom^2 has removed podcasting. But I use that feature a lot.Will I be able to add that later?

[comp@ddict]

^^ I dunno. But Phantom^2 has **** load more bugs than Phantom^1.

Currently I'm using Infinity-01 and it's amazing. Waiting for 2(should come next month)

[Ishu Gupta]

Yes .
